Former Coventry City player and manager Gary McAllister has said that coming back to the Ricoh Arena can spur City on to better things.
It's a one-club city and they don't want to get ahead of themselves but Coventry have a proud history in the Premier League," McAllister told Press Association Sport.
"It was a club who were established in the Premier League, there were flirtations with relegation but they managed to stave it off until they went down (in 2001) I remember one particular escape at Tottenham (in 1997).
"I hope this pulls everyone together and I'm sure they will get some proper attendances now. There's a good hardcore fanbase in Coventry and they can use that to push back up to where they should be."
